October Oscar Predictions: Original Song

LOL, I hate this category.I’m glad they made that rule change and there has to be five nominees
every year now.It was embarrassing last
year to see only TWO nominees in this category, and two nominees that no one
was predicting (I mean, of all the original songs to nominate from The Muppets
Movie and they chose…the best one!).So,
this year we have to have five.Now, I’m
wondering if the Globes curse will still live on (win the Globe, fail to get an
Oscar nomination) because if that is the case then I fear that Adele is out of
the running for her Skyfall tune, no matter how deserving she may be (and who
doesn’t want to see Adele at the Oscars).For now, I’m betting on her though.

1)“Suddenly” from Les Miserables

2)“Learn Me Right” from Brave

3)“Skyfall” from Skyfall

4)“Celebrate” from Sparkle

5)“Touch the Sky” from Brave

No, I’m not sure what is going to be eligible by the end of
the year.Things change and we never
know what songs are going to get the biggest push.I’d love to see Snow White and the Huntsman
get in here.It would just be beyond
amazing to have Adele, Florence and the Machine and Mumford and Sons all up for
Oscar consideration.I have faith in Sparkle
mostly due to the Whitney Houston goodwill, but I could be wrong.Early word on the placement of the new Les
Miserables song could make it a real tearjerker.My only fear is that it may not actually make
the final cut of the film, but if it does it is our frontrunner here.

About Me

What is there to say? I love movies, books, music...whatever and I love talking about it. I love predicting Oscars and publishing my own personal awards (Fistis!) and I love hearing what you have to say about what I have to post. It's come a long way from it's very humble (and slightly embarrassing) beginnings and has turned into a blog that I'm very proud to be the founder of.
